August 10, 2024
Roman Reigns made his long-awaited return to SmackDown and confronted and attacked Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga and Tonga Loa of The Bloodline.
Sikoa kicked off SmackDown's final segment Friday alogside Tama Tonga and Tonga Loa and challenged Reigns, telling him that he was the Tribal Chief now.
WWE @WWE"I'm the Tribal Chief now."<br><br>Solo Sikoa is asking <a href="https://twitter.com/WWERomanReigns?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@WWERomanReigns</a> for a fight... 😤<a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/SmackDown?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#SmackDown</a> <a href="https://t.co/Fo3fEGmFpX">pic.twitter.com/Fo3fEGmFpX</a>
Reigns didn't take those comments kindly whatsoever and immediately took out Tama Tonga and Tonga Loa.
WWE @WWEIT'S GOING DOWN!!!<a href="https://twitter.com/WWERomanReigns?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@WWERomanReigns</a> is here and he just took out Tonga Loa and Tama Tonga 😳<a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/SmackDown?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#SmackDown</a> <a href="https://t.co/gSDGEgayDn">pic.twitter.com/gSDGEgayDn</a>
Reigns then turned his attention toward Sikoa and quickly gained the upper hand. He was about to lay Sikoa out with a spear, but Tonga Loa pulled him out of the ring. Reigns then turned his attention to the Ula Fala, which was in the ring after falling off Sikoa during the skirmish. Reigns picked it up, but Tama Tonga and Tonga Loa attacked him as Sikoa grabbed the Ula Fala and stayed out of the action.

This in essence became a two-on-one fight, but Reigns won the battle. He speared Tama Tonga through the barricade and then brutally attacked Tonga Loa with a steel chair in the ring.

Reigns, of course, had been away since WrestleMania but returned at SummerSlam and attacked Sikoa, who was challenging Cody Rhodes for the Undisputed WWE Championship. Since Reigns' absence, Sikoa had formed a new Bloodline and anointed himself as the new Tribal Chief.
Now there's a war between the original and new guard, and it's only just begun.
